Inflammation, fraying of tendons, autoimmune responses, degenerations of cartilage, reduced density of bone, deconditioning of support muscles, all can be contributing factors leading to aches, pains, and debilitations that can manifest as a wide spectrum of disorders. Our hands, fingers, and wrists are as just as likely to exhibit issues as our knees, hips, and backs. As we age our bodies become less resilient and more susceptible to the wear and tear from our daily activities.
